Regarding the Praetorian Surge Thread - 5/5/2011

I moved the thread back to our staging area.

Because the details of the awarding of the badge are likely to change by tomorrow at some point, it's better to just reset the conversation after we've had a chance internally to discuss the options.

Thanks for the immediate feedback all and we'll repost the announcement when we're ready to re-present it to you.

You need to do something then to the dev trackers, as it's showing in the Employee Area there.

No, it couldn't stand the TRUTH.

But, I'm GLAD you guys are rethinking such a BAD idea. You're one of the good ones Zwill.

Glad you are rethinking it, it was after all a catastrophically bad idea.

It would be really funny if they rethought this the same way they "rethought" the rule changes to Comic Culture forums.

Thanks for reconsidering the badge idea. The rest of the event actually sounds great for those that can attend during those times.

I wouldn't of minded if it was for any of the times - but tying it into that one server? No.

I'm not positive, but I think it's still at the newspage.

Account-wide badge good, trying to bring Freedom to it's knees on May 27th, bad.

Personally, I'm against time-limited badges entirely.

For a lot of us, badge collecting is a (very) friendly competition, and the fact that new players absolutely cannot ever catch up to people like me may discourage potential new badgers from participating at all. Lots of collectors are like that-- if they know that it's impossible to collect everything, they may feel it's a waste of time to even spend any time on it.

I'm glad you reconsidered the 1-time, 3-hour, Freedom-only badge. I'm pretty shocked that it was ever considered, given the server performance issues and the tiny, tiny window of opportunity for a badge.

My thoughts exactly.

Next to Visual Sounds, this announcement had the makings of the best April Fool's post ever.

Except for the part about it being serious.

With everything else already said that should have been painfully obvious, I'm not sure if it was mentioned that the particular Friday is awfully close to a 3 day holiday weekend for the states. I wouldn't exactly be surprised if a lot of people aren't even around due to traveling.


I've already forgotten about most of you

Yeah, I didn't have time to post about it, but when I read that I thought "Of course! What could possibly go wrong!"....
